Cleaners

BleachBit includes a growing list of cleaners. Typically each cleaner represents an application such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Within each cleaner, BleachBit gives options covering components that can be cleaned such as cache, cookies, and log files. Each option is given a description to help you make good decisions.

The following are a list of cleaners available in BleachBit 0.8.5. You should be able to see a list of options by hovering your most over the cleaner name.

there's a link in their website, you can try the other versions if you want, the one that I've uploaded is base on debian lenny 5, there's an available ubuntu packages in their site too. Last edited by grimoire on Mon 25 Jun 2012, 02:14; edited 5 times in total

Here you go , a bleachbit that works on all Lucid puppies, haven't tested it on any others it is version 0.7.3 same that is in the Ubuntu Repos. After downloading and installing you must install Python-2.6-Lucid from the PPM and it will work flawlessly (hopefully, it did for me).

It works well, however each time I run the application it informs me that I am running out of RAM, but when I check using HTOP, I'm told I have plenty of RAM available ( 2gb ). I am using a usb flash drive so unsure if this would be replicate on a frugal or full install of Lucid 5.25.

Interesting, i've more or less abandoned using usb sticks for installing puppy and have been running frugal installs directly to a partition on the drive, however I will look into your problem, HTOP does not always correctly report the amount of ram you have free correctly I have seen, or maybe thats just with my computer. Anyway I will look into your problem when I get a puppy install onto a usb stick and report back to you._________________PupRescue 2.5Puppy Crypt 528

I appreciate your efforts BleachBit and it's good to know BleachBit is available for Puppy but I was asking if there was anything already included in Puppy that did at least some of what BleachBit does.

Are you checking the option to wipe free space or memory in BleachBit? If so, I would suspect that either one could be at fault.

To put it simply no Puppy does not include utlities that can do what bleachbit is designed to do. Puppy has the dd utility in it but thats about it. Noone ever said that bleachbit was supposed to be used for secure deletion as it is no way suited for that, if you are looking for secure file deletion i'd reccomend either wipe or nwipe._________________PupRescue 2.5Puppy Crypt 528

Ok so I just tried bleachbit off of a usb which i'm posting from now and did not get a ram full warning or anything of the type and this is coming from a clean usb install of 525 with just python installed and bleachbit, could someone give me a screenshot of this, and trying running from terminal and see if any error or warning messages come up. What are the puppy versions that are coming up with the ram full error?_________________PupRescue 2.5Puppy Crypt 528
